I got my GTI about 3 weeks ago. I noticed that once I pull away from traffic at a light that it quickly goes through the gears, but when I slow down with traffic it doesn't start to shift down until I'm near a complete stop. It seems to stay in 6 around 30-35 mph. Shouldn't it down shift just as quick when I'm breaking with traffic?

I don't know the "why" aspect of your question regarding auto-shifting downward, but I usually paddle down a couple of gears if I feel like I'm in the 35 mph-ish range, 3 if I want to pass.
